Joe Chealey
PG, Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets have waived Joe Chealey and Josh Perkins.

The Hornets are among the teams cutting down their roster as the regular season approaches. Chealey was with the organization last season but has been sidelined by a right ankle sprain lately, so perhaps he'll resurface when he gets healthy.

Anthony Davis
PF-C, Los Angeles Lakers

Anthony Davis hit the buzzer-beating game-winner against the Nuggets on Sunday, totaling 31 points (11-of-23 FG, 7-of-7 FT), nine rebounds, two 3-pointers, two blocks and one steal.

Davis had another monster line and only had one turnover over the course of 39 minutes. The Lakers nearly let this one get away as the Nuggets took the lead in the final minute, but thanks to AD's shot the Lakers now find themselves in control of this series. The Nuggets have come back from worse these playoffs, and as the final score indicated, these games are likely going to be heavily contested. Davis will continue dominating against the Nuggets' porous defense.

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers will use their usual starting lineup for Game 2 on Sunday, which means LeBron James (groin, ankle) and JaVale McGee will both be playing as usual.

James was listed as probable, as he has been throughout the playoffs, so it's no shock to see him playing tonight. There was some thought that McGee might get benched for Dwight Howard but the Lakers will stick to their usual rotation after taking Game 1 with relative ease. The Lakers also had Rajon Rondo (probable) and Dion Waiters (doubtful) on the injury report, and we'd expect Rondo to play while Waiters does not.

JaVale McGee
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Chris Haynes is reporting that the Lakers intend to keep JaVale McGee in the starting lineup for Sunday's Game 2.

There was some speculation, helped along by coach Frank Vogel, that Dwight Howard might start given the defense he played against Nikola Jokic in Game 1, but the Lakers will carry on as usual for now. There's no need to fix what isn't broken at the moment. Although he's likely to keep starting, McGee hasn't hit 15 minutes in any of the Lakers' playoff games so far.

Gordon Hayward
SF, Boston Celtics

While Gordon Hayward initially planned on leaving the bubble when his wife gives birth some time in September, he's changed his mind and will not leave the Celtics for the rest of the postseason.

Hayward just returned from a four-week ankle injury and he says he was able to get enough family time in during that stint to change up the plans. It's big news for the Celtics, who benefited from Hayward's playmaking in a big way in Game 3 on Saturday night. Barring injury, we should see Boston at full strength as they try to earn an NBA Finals berth. The Celtics got some great run out of their small-ball lineup last night, of which Hayward was a key member, so look out for more of that as he gets back to full strength.

Dylan Windler
SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Dylan Windler, who missed his entire rookie season after undergoing surgery for a stress reaction in his left tibia, is cleared for 5-on-5 play.

Windler became a bit of a forgotten man since he didn’t touch the floor after September, but Cleveland’s upcoming mini-camp will be a chance for him to establish his footing again. He’s a name to remember for next season’s deep-league drafts with the Cavs likely to make minutes available for any young player with potential. Windler shouldn’t be considered a lock for the rotation just yet, however, so hopefully his time in the Cavs’ bubble goes well.
